#0Mic Question
Posted: 12/5/04 at 10:28pmI've noticed at a couple of show recently that some actors seem to have more than one mic coming out of their hair. One show I was at recently, it seemed apparent that one actor had three mic "nubs" and two wires out the back. Does anyone know how that works exactly? Is one meant for singing and one for talking, or something like that? Or are they meant as "backup" mics?

Posted: 12/5/04 at 10:31pmThey are actually just loose wires coming out of Idina Menzels neck. You see she is actually a robot and sometimes the "Robotic Belter Module" comes loose and the same problem persists with the "Robotic Acting Module" although both seem to work well.

Posted: 12/5/04 at 10:31pmI was in a show and we were wearing headmics and mine kept going out and (since i was playing valjean in les mis) they taped two together and added another pack. Just for security.

the sum of all things for Sumofallthings= Wicked.
I love how people assume that everything as to do with Les Mis, Wicked, RENT, or Sweeney.

I tried to revive it today.
But despite the efforts of Gov and me, it sunk to the second page quite quickly.
Yet the WICKED thread stay at the top and multiply.
